| Summary: | According to World Health Organization, each year, there are 15 million
people who suffer stroke. Among these people, around 5 million of them are
disabled permanently due to the stroke. In order to help them to link their
brain intentions and their limb actions stroke disabled patients must go
through physical therapy.
The therapy involves helping patients to move their limbs base on their
intention. Because of the huge and increasing number of disabled stroke
patients, the research of robots that can use to help the patients in their
therapy increases.
The project is to design and research to make a robotic system to help the
stroke patients in their therapeutic recovery. The project will be using an
industrial robot coupled with a force sensor to replicate the assistance of a
therapist. |
